The world is a fascinating place and no two people see it exactly the same way. We all have our own perspective. In this blog, I will write about my perspective on...whatever. Since I usually view the world through humor, I hope that you will find some of it funny (and let me know). You may find some thought provoking (and let me know). You may find some objectionable (and keep it to yourself). Either way, remember...they are just My Kaneclusions!

Rachel Quotes

Rachel has always driven behind the driver's seat in my MPV minivan. Recently, I've been dropping her off at school and the side she needs to get out on is the passenger side. I asked her to start sitting on that side for convenience sake so she didn't have to step over everything in the back seat to get out. This morning, I got in my car and she was sitting in her passenger side seat again. When asked about it, she said, "I can't get used to sitting on that side. I've grown accustomed to this side." 4-25-2012
